To be a good gaming platform, in my opinion Linux have to do some of this,
1. Good driver support from manufacturer either OSS or binary. Don't get me wrong, I know why we need OSS drivers but if you have to play games, the card have to get blessing from its godfathers. Also manufacturer also have to think their target audience is gamers not Professional designers or server admins.
2. Backward compatibility, the amount of troubles I got for running old/new binary software or games is not worth for a desktop gamer. I know how to solve library problems, when a game complain some libxyz.so.3 not found, all you have to do is make a link to libxyz.so.10 to libxyz.so.3 . But I can't recommend this to my gamer friends who don't have any idea what the heck libxyz is. Companies don't maintain their code usually for much long but the binary games are sold for long time. Valve/Stream has a good chance for fixing this; if they use local libraries for games then using system libraries then blob's should work well.
3. Gamers , professional, general public and hobbies are not same material. Give each of them some credits. Many linux softwares are either for hobbies or for some tech hackers. Now canoncial targeting general public. To be gaming machine, the games should also be targeted.
It's all my personal opinions, I think of using Linuxes for last 5 years and recommending a lot of Windows users. And being a occasional gamer.
People realise that Android is a JVM sitting on top of the Linux kernel right?
The Linux part is not the relevant part, the JVM is.
We don't want horrible Java games.
One can simplify without the inaccuracies. To call it a VM is fair. To call it java-esque VM is fair. To call it 'java-derived' or 'java-inspired' VM might even be fair. To call it 'java' is not accurate.
Why not just call it a DVM instead and avoid the potential exchange of trolls?
Also, this. If Windows is a 'gaming platform', and DOS was a gaming platform, then Linux should have no problem. It's in far better shape than either of MS' offerings were until years after the OS version release. Sure, hardware support needs to be worked on, the GFX especially is lacking right now but with more eyes on the ball, theoretically, there should be an increase in support. Hopefully before people get burned by the Linux gaming experience =D And was it SDL 2 that was trying to be a DirectX-like implementation for all platforms for device management?
#1 Better now than it's ever been. Also it's a bit of a chicken and egg problem. Not a lot of games? -- Not a lot of incentive or resources to get to 100% support on day one. Lots of games? -- a big incentive to contribute code so they work.
#2. Always a hazard on installing an OS rather than having it pre-installed. Again though better now than ever before (X mostly self-configures, cups has a flashy gui interface ...)
#3. Not entirely true http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/ . Many things are standardized, some or not. SystemD promises to provide some additional standardization. Also not as bit of a problem when you use a service like desura or steam that can smooth out of fill in library mismatches.
#4 Containers, chroot, or VM's are solutions, also see game management programs like steam and desura.
#5 Meh Mint isn't commercial, it just takes money and time to iron these things out.
#6 I don't thing it will be an unequivocable success this year, but 2-3 years out is definitely possible.
#7 There is a yet unmentioned possibility here, the potential to turn any x86 computer into a game-specific console. Boot from a live media with just the game and it's scrict dependencies. Plug in a Bluetooth adapter connect your controllers, and play. Progress can be saved to the cloud or a local storage device.

A few pie tasters have asked for the recipe and even a masterclass demonstration has been mentioned, so this book is the result, which I hope answers both requests. Included also are other recipes for snacks, desserts and drinks.

HOLLAND, MI — The case against Ryan Wyngarden is headed to trial after two days of testimony during a preliminary examination.
Holland District Judge Bradley Knoll ruled Thursday, Feb. 28, that there was enough evidence to send the case Circuit Court. Wyngarden is accused of killing his sister, Gail Brink, and brother-in-law, Rick Brink, in November of 1987.
Grand Rapids Press and MLive.com photographer Emily Zoladz was in court for the testimony and shot video of the key moments.
Daryl Cain, an inmate at the Ottawa County Jail, testified Thursday that Wyngarden confessed to him he shot and killed the Brinks. Wyngarden told Cain he staged the crime scene and police did not have good evidence against him.
"He told me how he shot them," Cain testified. "He didn't tell me, but he pointed to his hand and went boom, boom, boom, boom."
Cheryl Murphree - Ryan Wyngarden's sister
Cheryl Murphree broke down as she told the court about the day the Brinks died. She said as the family was in shock, Wyngarden made strange comments.
"He said, 'Well, she lived a really good life' ... it was like he was trying to make light of it," Murphree testified.
Narva Champlin - Ryan Wyngarden's aunt
"He was extremely mad. The phone was out here and I could hear him," Champlin testified, holding her hand a foot away from her ear.
Pamela Wyngarden - Ryan Wyngarden's wife
In his ruling, Knoll said the testimony of Wyngarden's wife, Pamela Wyngarden, was the most crucial. Pamela Wyngarden took the stand Wednesday. Her testimony elicited outbursts from her husband, who was led out of the courtroom.
"I was concerned that I would go to jail ... because I was holding this information for so long."
"How could I block something like this? I can't," she said of her decision to finally come clean. RELATED LINKS:

Come on now get comfortable, this will be a long one. Ok I live
in Norway as an 18 year old teen. About a year ago I experienced
a moment that i count as the first "sexual" experience in my
life. As I walked down the drabbed grayish hallways of my school
towards a secluded sitting area, I to this day recount as my
little pink haven, I spotted not one but both of my crushes
seated on the very spot i intended to rest my tired tush.
Arriving at my port of fruity solitude i smiled
The first whom i will refer to as Sunny for privacy's sake is
near indescribable in my love smitten eyes. I will however try my
best. Sunny has the softes and most luxurious slightly brown
tonned hair. His hair is short and brings to mind rare Indian
silks that would be found in late victorian english bedrooms. It
frames an angelic face with a soft but warm and inviting glow.
His eyes are fiercly blue with just a hint of emerald green. They
are like to gemstones crafted in the heavens. Whenever he would
look at me I would be taken a back by his eyes, that seem to
almost pierce mine and search the very bottom of my soul with
intense and inexhaustable emotion. His body was firm and tonned
but not in excess and with a strong manly posture, in direct
contrast to my slouching self.
The second, well let's call him Paul a boy with a personality
that truly shined through his gentle, loving smile and reassuring
voice. If Sunny's eyes were like gemstones from the heavens then
Paul's smile was like a warm blanket on a cold christmas day.
Where i admired Sunny's body in all its perfection i would revel
in Paul's slightly bizarre mix of God-like amazingly attractive
overall appearance and his mediocre features with the exception
of the aforementioned smile, personality and voice......Where was
i going with this again? Sorry lost my train of thought.
Ok, I'm back on track. I walked up to them and like any fool in
love i stammered and stuttered some incomprehensible jibber
before mustering a form of greeting that would not make the
nearest grammer nazi plug my nipples to a car battery and end my
verbal catastrophe. They said and i quote "Hi and 'Sup"
respectively. In afterthought i'm glad they were having as hard a
time as me soliloquizing (sarcasm *_*). We all just sort of
hovered in the area not saying anything for a toe-curlingly,
seemingly never ending 20 seconds before i turned my back and
walked right out again.
As i walked out i felt a warm touch on my wrist and heard a
familiar and delicate voice say "We were waiting for you". With
that i felt a previously unknown sensation. A warm and slightly
damp but somehow also fascinating feeling, a kiss on my neck. I
turned slowly my grey demeanor met two radiating and pulsating
others and my dull brown eyes found that they had become lost in
someone elses blueish-green eyes.
The next thing i remember my eyes were escaping the enchanting
prison of Sunny's eyes. The three of us were on the couch
togheter touching, teaching, and loving one and others desires.
then as i moved my hand down closer and closer to unbuckle
Sunny's pants, I woke up to my teacher berating me on falling
asleep in class.

In tribal cultures, the elderly play an important role. They are the keepers of the tribes memories and the holders of wisdom. As such, the elderly are honored and respected members of tribes. In many modern cultures, however, this is often not the case. Many elderly people say that they feel ignored, left out, and disrespected. This is a sad commentary on modernization, but it doesnt have to be this way. We can change this situation by taking the time to examine our attitudes about the elderly and taking action.
Modern societies tend to be obsessed with the ideas of newness, youth, and progress. Scientific studies tell us how to do everything from the way we should raise our kids to what we need to eat for breakfast. As a result, the wisdom that is passed down from older generations is often disregarded. Of course, grandparents and retired persons have more than information to offer the world. Their maturity and experience allows for a larger perspective of life, and we can learn a lot from talking to elderly people. Its a shame that society doesnt do more to allow our older population to continue to feel productive for the rest of their lives, but you can help to make change. Perhaps you could help facilitate a mentorship program that would allow children to be tutored by the elderly in retirement homes. The elderly make wonderful storytellers, and creating progr ams where they could share their real life experiences with others is another way to educate and inspire other generations.
Take stock of your relationships with the elderly population. Maybe you dont really listen to them because you hold the belief that their time has passed and they are too old to understand what you are going through. You may even realize that you dont have any relationships with older people. Try to understand why and how our cultural perception of the elderly influences the way you perceive them. Look around you and reach out to someone who is elderly even if you are just saying hello and making small talk. Resolve to be more aware of the elderly. They are our mentors, wise folk, and the pioneers that came before us and paved the way for our future.

imac as speakerphone
Radman2020, I'm not exactly sure what you are looking for in the way of a speakerphone or in fact what you mean by speakerphone. However, here is what I did when I took a distance education class and I had to interact with the professor and other class members during a 2 hour lecture and discussion:
I opened up an email account on google and I used their free telephone service to connect to the class. The telephone service is a part of your gmail account; you have to look for it; it is sort of hidden. Your iMac has a built in microphone and two speakers. It worked just fine for me and the google-phone service was at least as clear as my cell phone and my arm didn't get tired holding the phone for 2 hours. Hope this helps. |

I just checked, Windows 7 does not have the same dialer application as windows XP. Windows XP allows for full voice and contact integration, windows 7 just dials the phone. Windows 8 doesn't have either.
There are work arounds to this according to the internet, but generally speaking, MS has also long abandoned voice calls. Especially considering Windows XP is no longer supported. The OP indicated he is in the medical industry, and this makes sense. The medical industry operates about 10 years behind the time when it comes to technology. And rightfully so, they have to move ahead securely and safely. But that doesn't mean that it commonly used outside of the industry. Example is buying houses. Around 6 or 7 years ago, you often had to fax over contracts. Now you can do most of it via email and using authorized signatures. The vast majority of industries have moved away from them, or to online services that can do the same thing. Although I do agree that they are in use by some places, if this is something that the OP was required to have; then he should have really spent some time verifying that it can do this job before plopping down his money. The problem is finding a current windows machine that can do it; without having to buy an external modem and 3rd party software. Moving ahead with technology is very important, being tied to old items, regardless of their usefulness, can cause tons of problems. Yes, there are people out there that still use Windows 16 bit applications; and thus they stick with their old OS. I worked with a company that still ran their production lines on Apple IIe's; they had a stock of them for when one broke. Does this mean that Apple should keep making them? Heck no. Years ago I worked for a company that made components for PC's. This was during the windows '95 era. We had a customer complaint that we didn't supply CPM drivers for our hardware. Not DOS, but CMP! Seriously the guy sounded just like the OP; there are tons of people using CMP and if you don't support it well you'll just go out of business. We later discontinued our DOS driver support, and had the same series of calls. Eventually the company was purchased by a much larger one. The point is, often people don't see beyond their current needs, and assume that everyone else's needs are the same. They aren't. Progress has to be made, industries HAVE to move forward or fade away into obscurity. It is their job to predict the future, and move toward it. It is the consumer's job to follow or stick with what they are comfortable with, but if they chose the latter they have to realize that at some point, they will be obsoltetted. |

I still have a phone next to my computer. To use the computer as a speakerphone never entered my mind. Why would I want to do that? I have to say when the technology to provide 'true' speakerphone capability has progressed so far that I can have a very small device sitting on my desk that has the sole function of providing awesome speakerphone capabilities. It even connects to a Bluetooth headset if I need it to, and it just rocks at doing its function. I don't want to burden my computer with yet more software that it has to juggle. I remember in the 'old days' when Symantec had WinFAX, and that software made the computer nearly unusable because it was such a hog. It didn't work all that well either, but it was cheaper than buying a dedicated fax machine at the time. I think, as I remember, WinFAX integrated with Outlook contacts and had some telephony capabilities, but it was such a pig that I ended up running it on a dedicated system, thus making the idea of a fax machine seem better in the long run...
But, yes! Time marches on. Old technology dies, or is discarded inspite of the best intentions of the company that produced it. Remember Zip drives? Talking about 5.25" floppy disks reminds me of the eight inch disks I used at my first job. Acoustic coupled modems too. RS-232, and IEEE 488 are largely gone now too. Windows 3x, and DOS machines are history. DEC PDP's and VAX's are too. That doesn't mean they are totally gone. People that still need this list of antiques can find some support 'out there' for some of it... It's nothing I'd want to be involved in. ---------- Quote:

If the OP is in the medical profession and wants to use the iMac as a speakerphone, wouldn't this compromise user privacy? You don't want people nearby to be able to listen in if you are discussing a patient's medical needs or history.
I recently had to register at a hospital in the West Suburban Boston area. The registration area was packed with desks and hospital agents and patients jammed together. While I was sitting there trying to give my info quietly, I could hear clear info fromt two different people sitting next to us giving out their personal private info, addresses, SS numbers, and medical problems. How in the world do the hospitals protect privacy when they practically broadcast the info? |

Loading... Moon Handbooks Road Trip USAby Jamie Jensen
None. None Loading...
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. A great guide showing several ideas for long road trips in the US and what you can see along the way. I am looking forward to using this book on our next road trip. I've been a fan of Roadtrip USA for many years and I look forward to each new edition that hits the bookstore. This voluminous tome is jam packed with valuable information for road trippers (there isn't an ounce of fluff between the covers). The book covers eleven major trips across the United States from the obvious (Route 66 and the Pacific Coast Highway) to the hidden (Routes 20, 83 and 93). Jensen provides readers with maps, photos and advice on making the most of traveling these roads. No self-respecting road tripper should be without this book in the glove compartment! There's an updated edition, but this is still fabulous for the armchair traveller and planner. no reviews | add a review

Who's ready to forgive the French?
Posted By Jon Dougherty On 06/06/2003 @ 1:00 am In Commentary | Comments Disabled
It was 59 years ago today that the world's greatest invasion during the world's most horrific war was launched. France had succumbed to Nazi Germany in 1940, but four years later, on June 6, 1944, a "D-Day" armada of 3,000 landing craft, 2,500 other ships and 500 naval vessels – all supported by 13,000 aircraft – began the invasion of Europe by first attempting to liberate Paris.
border=0/> U.S. infantry wades ashore Omaha Beach against the best of the German coastal forces, the 352nd Division. |
Some 130,000 troops from the U.S., Britain and Canada hit the beaches of Normandy, France, at five points, while further inland thousands of U.S. and British airborne troops were scattered about the countryside. It was tough going, but by the end of the month, the allies had landed 850,000 men, 148,000 vehicles and 570,000 tons of supplies.
It was an invasion more than a year in planning.
Faced with grievous losses in 1941 after the Germans invaded, Soviet Premier Josef Stalin pushed British Prime Minister Winston Churchill to open a second front in the war. Stalin made his demand in a bid to relieve pressure from his vast eastern front by giving Adolf Hitler another European front to deal with.
Churchill was cool to the idea initially, remembering that Britain stood alone against Nazi Germany for almost a year in 1940, taking a pounding from the Luftwaffe while anticipating a German invasion that, fortunately, never came.
Though Stalin pressed Churchill to stage a full-fledged invasion of France in 1942, the best that could be mounted was the Dieppe Raid.
"The Allied situation in the spring of 1942 was grim. The Germans had penetrated deep into Russia, the British Eighth Army in North Africa had been forced back into Egypt, and in Western Europe the Allied Forces faced the Germans across the English Channel," said a Veterans Affairs Canada report on the raid. "Since the time was not yet ripe for mounting Operation Overlord, the full-scale invasion of Western Europe, it was decided to mount a major raid on the French port of Dieppe."
Launched on August 19, 1942, the attack was a disaster that cost the lives of 1,000 Canadian troops. The British Royal Air Force lost 106 aircraft – more than in any other day of the war – while the Royal Canadian Air Force loss was 13 aircraft.
A year and a half later, American Gen. Dwight Eisenhower became the allies' supreme commander and, adopting some of what had been devised since 1943, began the final planning for D-Day. It was a huge risk, but one the allies knew they would have to take if they were to return Europe to freedom.
Before the day was done, the D-Day invasion force would suffer 10,300 casualties; by the end of the war to liberate France, the U.S. and its allies would suffer nearly 300,000 casualties. In all of World War II, 16 million American men and women served in the armed forces; 600,000 were killed or wounded.
While battles against the Japanese in the Pacific were certainly bloody, the fight to liberate Europe was especially tedious and deadly. Perhaps it was because Americans were fighting a war of liberation there for the second time in less than 40 years.
But finally, on May 7, 1945, the European slaughter came to an end. German Gen. Alfred Jodl signed an unconditional surrender at Reims, France. The war in Europe was over, and, as it had done during the fight, the U.S. would now help lead the way to rebuilding the continent once again.
Fast-forward to June 2003.
Earlier this week, President Bush sounded a "conciliatory tone" with French President Jacques Chirac after his government vehemently and viciously opposed the American effort to rid the Mideast of one of its most dangerous threats in Iraq, while securing for the Iraqi people and the West a valuable energy source.
After all America has "contributed" to sustain France, are Americans really ready to reconcile?
Not me.
They say forgiveness is divine, and while many of us can forgive the French government for its reckless abandonment of the United States in a time of need, we can't forget that Iraq isn't the first time France has purposely opposed the U.S. or given aid and comfort to our enemies, thus endangering soldiers whose grandfathers helped liberate Paris from the clutches of German aggression – twice.
Reconciliation with France? Count me out, Mr. Bush.

On Zuck's playground you play by Zuck's rules.
Mark Zuckerberg speaks at Techcrunch 2013 in San Francisco. Vicki Thompson / Silicon Valley Business Journal

The UpTake: Facebook is taking a hard line with marketers and other content providers with its news feed algorithm tweaks designed to crack down on spammy content. Some businesses have complained about a bait-and-switch. Facebook's response: "Tough breaks."
Mark Zuckerberg is sick of the annoying crap you're posting to Facebook (or at least that's what we like to imagine).
The social network is cracking down on so-called "like-bait" which includes blatantly asking friends to like a post and other spammy content that Facebook defines in a recent blog post.
This comes on the heels of the company dialing back how many users businesses can reach for free on their Facebook pages. The team at food ordering startup Eat24 was so upset by the changes they posted a public breakup letter with Facebook and deleted their page.
Facebook's unambiguous response: If you want more people to see your page, pay up. Facebook communications director Brandon McCormick has been making the media rounds to remind disgruntled users that Facebook calls the shots when it comes to what shows up on the Facebook news feed.
"Every time you log in, we have 1,500 stories we could share with you in your news feed," McCormick told Businessweek. "You could consume everything, if you sat and scrolled all day, but we want news feeds to be the best stories you can see every time you go there."
Related: Indies protest as Mark Zuckerberg becomes 'The Man'
It's a good distillation of the difference between Facebook and Twitter, where it's still open season for free marketing thanks to the unfiltered stream of tweets. It's Twitter's blessing and its curse (new users are often overwhelmed). Although, you've got to wonder how long that's going to last, with Twitter looking more and more like Facebook.
McCormick also adds: "Buying an ad is the best way to make sure people will see the content you're posting. It's not a great marketing strategy to put something out and hope someone sees it."

Brainerd, Minnesota: Babe the Blue Ox
A lumpy 1950s version, this tall tale beast of burden dutifully hauled the logs of ax-happy Paul.This Old Farm Pioneer Village
- Address:
- Hwy 18, Brainerd, MN
- Directions:
- Part of Paul Bunyan Land at This Old Farm Pioneer Village. Seven miles east of town on Hwy 18.
Visitor Tips and News About Babe the Blue Ox
Reports and tips from RoadsideAmerica.com visitors and Roadside America mobile tipsters. Some tips may not be verified. Submit your own tip.
Paul's sidekick Babe will be getting a major renovation starting July 21st, 2008. The renovation should be completed within a month's time. Babe the Blue Ox joined Paul at the now closed Paul Bunyan Amusement Center in the early 1950s.
This Babe statue was created with a steel framework wrapped in fiberglass. The statue has been patched and painted several time throughout the years and is now in need of a more complete overhaul.
Josh Porter of Avalon Studios will be the the artist in charge of the renovation. The plan is to shape and re-coat the entire statue using modern materials. Spray foam and an elastomeric resin topcoat will be used to smooth out Babe's features and seal the statue. This process will give Babe an improved look and provide a maintenance-free statue for years to come.

lsb_release [options]DESCRIPTION
The lsb_release command provides certain LSB (Linux Standard Base) and distribution-specific information.If no options are given, the -v option is assumed.
The program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`--'). A summary of options are included below.- -v, --version
- Show the version of the LSB against which your current installation is compliant. The version is expressed as a colon separated list of LSB module descriptions.

This is a reimplementation of the lsb_release command provided by the Free Standards Group. Any bugs are solely the responsibility of the author below.Detection of systems using a mix of packages from various distributions or releases is something of a black art; the current heuristic tends to assume that the installation is of the earliest distribution which is still being used by .B apt but that heuristic is subject to error.

Final Fantasy XII International Zodiac Job System
PAL Console cutscene skipping problems. All help appreciated!!!!!!!
- Back To:

- Page 1 of 2
- Last
I have burned a dvd using the US & International as well as the PAL UK & International as explained to me. These load fine on my modded slim ps2 but I have a problem (as I do with EVERY import ps2 game I have ever purchased) where the sound keeps skipping rather badly on cutscenes and such like. This is an absolute nightmare as I really want to play this version of FFXII but find the skipping problems SO annoying it is just painful to play. Does anyone else in England play FFXII International on a modded ps2 without any problems (with a PAL TV obviously)? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have no clue on how to get around this problem.. If it is even possible. Any ideas would be brilliant, thanks. | |
Its because of your TV. The game is for NTSC TV's so you need a TV that supports NTSC to fix the choppy cutscenes. | |
Really? Well thats about the most depressing thing I've heard as I just bought a new HDTV about two months ago, I would've thought new TV's would be compatable with NTSC.. This is bad news. £500 not very well spent... Great. Does anybody in England even have a NTSC compatable TV? WTF?!! Not one of my mates seems to be then as I've tried my ps2 around near every one of my mates houses. What a wank world I live in. | |
Welly-welly-well.. Waddaya know?!! My TV IS NTSC compatible. So now I have another problem.. So now what could it be? My wank modded ps2 perhaps? | |
Are you using SCART when you plug your ps2 on you tv? If you dont use Scart then i dont know whats wrong. I had a Pal/Ntsc comptatible TV and i was wondering why the cutscenes were so choppy so i did some googling and plugged my ps2 on the tv without scart and the cutscenes werent choppy at all after that. Also I have a fat ps2 and im using swapmagic to play imported games. Sorry if this doesnt help ya. | |
Did you burn the disc as slowly as you possibly could? Is there a setting on your TV that you have to change to change it from PAL to NTSC? I run this game in Australia which is also a PAL country. My crappy TV, one of the old curved glass box things, runs the game fine whereas my previous TV that did not support NTSC ran the games in Black and White. | |
Thanks for the replies, this is so annoying so I appreciate the help.. I have tried plugging my PS2 into my TV via Scart & without scart, either option here comes up with the same result, full colour but lots of skipping. I am using a slimline PS2 which I bought from eBay which was actually already modded, I think that it could be my PS2 that is the problem as there are lots of little problems I always find with it, for example; changing discs in the game never works, when playing Chrono Cross it must've took me an hour one night trying to get it to load disc 2 so there's definitely something not quite right with my system.. But could this really affect the playback on my TV? So annoying I'm hating this. The PAL version of FFXII plays fine, no skipping etc. But both the US version and JP International version all skip, as already mentioned I have now found out that my TV IS NTSC compatible so that shouldn't be a problem. Allthough I can't see where you can manually change to and from NTSC on the TV.. I am assuming it is automatic. As for burning the disc at the slowest speed, this would not resolve anything as I have the physical copies of both US & JP games and these have exactly the same problem.. I have this problem with ALL of my import PS2 games. Long post, sorry. | |
Ah, sorry, I thought you were using the english patch, my mistake for not reading thoroughly. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong but the only downside to playing an NTSC game on a PAL only TV is black and white instead of colour output, so this leads me to believe that your TV is automatically setting itself to NTSC - No worries there. Maybe the problem comes from your Modchip? Do you know what type you have installed? | |
[This message was deleted at the request of a moderator or administrator] | |
Yeah and with SM you can choose between PAL and NTSC when you boot the game. I hope it works out for you :) |

We used Patrick Taggart II to help us with our own will and also to help me with my aunt's estate after her death. Patrick was very detailed, knowledgeable, quick to respond to my calls, and made me feel comfortable in our conversations. Everything was done thoroughly and on time. His staff was very helpful.

Patrick helped me with the purchase of a business. He was very knowledgeable and expedient. He made excellent recommendations and kept the lines of communication open and clear. Although the purchase had some emotional components, Patrick kept me focused on the end result and now I am thoroughly enjoying my new business. I highly recommend Patrick and his firm of LaRowe, Gerlach & Roy.

First Appearance | Appearance of Death |
Gary Lester's mother always wanted him to make something of himself. She wanted him to grow up to become someone important, like a doctor. Instead, he became a close friend with a young boy named John Constantine. Mrs. Lester never cared for John, and felt that the young rogue was a bad influence on Gary. Gary never became a doctor as his mother wanted, but instead turned his attention towards art. This proved to be of transitory interest to him however, and he dropped out of art school in order to concentrate on more entertaining hobbies.
Reuniting with John, Gary decided to try his hand at music. In 1977, Gary and John attended a Sex Pistols concert at the Roxy nightclub in London. The experience inspired them to create their own band. Together with a drummer named Beano and manager Dean Motter, they created the punk rock band known as Mucous Membrane.
Mucous Membrane was not particularly memorable, but they did succeed in releasing one single entitled Venus of the Hardsell. They also created an amateur film as a backdrop for the song and in so doing, created one of the world's first music videos. After playing a few gigs in the Northumberland area, the band soon broke up. Although Mucous Membrane's success was fleeting, Gary and John remained close friends.
By 1978, each of them had forgone their love of music in favor of a new fix – the occult. They began associating with a new clique of like-minded nascent mystics including Benjamin Cox, Ritchie Simpson, Frank North and a nun named Sister Anne-Marie.
That same year, Gary and the others traveled to Newcastle, to the site of Mucous Membrane's first concert – the Casanova Club. They discovered that club owner Alex Logue had maintained a dungeon basement for the purpose of wild sex parties and occult rituals. A powerful fear elemental had taken possession of his daughter Astra, and this newly formed assemblage of exorcists sought valiantly to save her soul. Realizing that the elemental's strength was too much for their combined efforts, Constantine determined that the only way to conquer the demonic entity was with a more powerful demon. He sent Gary to collect the remains of a dead cat which he used in a ritual to invoke a demon that he could control.
They succeeded in summoning a demon known as Nergal, but Constantine mis-spoke the incantation, and Nergal raged out of control. Astra's soul was consumed and the demonic forces viciously pulled her down into Hell. John and the others barely escaped from the Casanova Club with their lives. The experience traumatized John so greatly that he was remanded to the care of the Ravenscar Mental Hospital for over two years.
Gary suffered greatly from the tragedy as well. With John no longer present to watch over him, Gary soon turned to drugs. By the mid 1980s, he was a hopeless heroin addict.
In 1986, Gary wandered the streets of Tangier in Morocco hoping to feed his habit. He witnessed a sweatshop owner violently casting a small Sudanese child out into the dusty streets. Examining the boy, Gary recognized that something was intrinsically wrong with him. The look in the boy's eyes reminded him of the Newcastle experience, and he decided to take him back to his hotel room. He knew that the child was under the thrall of a demon, and so, Gary attempted to exorcise the malevolent spirit from him all by himself. He drew forth a hunger demon known as Mnemoth. As Mnemoth tore free from the boy's body, Gary bound the entity inside of a special flask.
Although Mnemoth's physical form was contained, his mental influence raged on. He infected Gary's mind with a thousand whispers, slowly driving him mad. Before long, Gary realized that he required Constantine's help, or else the demon would drive him irrevocably insane. He mugged a tourist for his passport and caught a flight back to England.
By this point, John Constantine was free of Ravenscar and spending time in the United States. Gary had no luck finding him at his London flat, so he asked Constantine's landlady to mail the demon flask to the address of John's girlfriend, Emma, in New York City. Constantine ultimately returned to London however, only to find Gary sprawled out in his apartment. He was enduring terrible withdrawal symptoms and the ravenous hunger that infected him had pushed him over the edge. He told John where he had sent the flask, and the two flew to the United States.
When they arrived, Gary and John discovered that Mnemoth's bottle had been opened, and the hunger demon was loose on the streets of Manhattan. John left Gary in the care of a rival occultist named Papa Midnite, while he in turn sought out the demon. Constantine soon discovered that the only way he could possibly capture Mnemoth was to bind him inside of a secondary host container. Realizing that Gary Lester was dying, John decided to use him as bait to trap the demon.
Papa Midnite and John Constantine brought Gary to the top of the Midnight Club and used the pain of Gary's drug withdrawal to lure Mnemoth towards their location. The hunger demon took possession of the addict, but Midnite and John used their mystical prowess to create a ward upon Gary's flesh trapping it inside of him. Midnite took Gary's body down into the basement of his club where he had him sealed behind a brick wall. Gary soon died, and his spirit rose from his body to join the rest of the (now deceased) Newcastle Crew in the afterlife.
Many years later, John experienced a bizarre reunion with his old band mate. A London police inspector named Watford showed him the charred remains of a burn victim. A voice claiming to be the spirit of Gary Lester spoke through the corpse warning John about the presence of three Lukhavim. Surviving friends of a person named Domine Fredericks summoned the Lukhavim in order to exact revenge against John for Fredericks' death. Whether the spectral voice that spoke to John was truly the spirit of Gary Lester or not remains to be seen.

A hydrothermal reaction of a mixture of cobalt (II) oxalate, phosphorous acid, piperazine and water at $150^oC$ for 96 h followed by heating at $180^oC$ for 24 h gave rise to a new inorganic–organic hybrid solid, $[C_4N_2H_{12}][Co_4(HPO_3)_2(C_2O_4)_3]$, I. The structure consists of edge-shared $CoO_6$ octahedra forming a $[Co_2O_{10}]$ dimers that are connected by $HPO_3$ and $C_2O_4$ units forming a three-dimensional structure with one-dimensional channels. The amine molecules are positioned within these channels. The oxalate units have a dual role of connecting within the plane of the layer as well as out of the plane. Magnetic susceptibility measurement shows the compound orders antiferromagnetically at low temperature $(T_N=22K)$. Crystal data: I, monoclinic, space group = $P2_1/_c$ (No. 14). a=7.614(15), b=7.514(14), c=17.750(3)\AA , $\beta=97.351(3)^o$, $V=1007.30(3)\AA^3$, Z=2, $\rho_{calc}=2.466g/cm^3$, $\mu(MoK\alpha)=3.496mm^{-1}, R_1=0.0310$ and $wR_2=0.0807$ data $[I>2\sigma(I)]$.

BAMILEKE, STOOL 26, 12", $1200, Cameroon
This Bamileke stool has been vetted as being authentic with significant signs of use and age.
Most Bamileke art (and the work of other kingdoms of the Cameroon Grasslands) relates to kings and important chiefs, who defined their power by the display of prestige objects during important ceremonies. Stools were among the most important of these objects. The motifs include leopards, human figures and heads, spiders, lizards and other subjects plus abstract designs. The spider, often found abstracted in repeating patterns, is a symbol of wisdom. The leopard; cunning, fast, mobile and guardedly aggressive, signifies the ability to survive and is the most important royal icon, often even the king's alter ego. Glass beads embellish the most important royal stools.

Artist's rendering of Trader Vic's in San Francisco
date unknown, from the collection of Tim Haack
Have a photo or a collectible from Trader Vic's?
Add it to Critiki! Humuhumu's description:
Cosmo Place is actually an alley. The unusual location didn't stop the San Francisco Trader Vic's from becoming a powerful center for city nightlife. In fact, in 1983, Queen Elizabeth II had her very first experience eating out at a restaurant here. (She had a Tanqueray gin martini.) This Trader Vic's location closed in the early '90s, and is now a popular French Vietnamese restaurant, Le Colonial.

A Celebration of Caribbean Authors
I recently interviewed Staceyann Chin after reading her newly published memoir The Other Side of Paradise. Those who are familiar with Chin's work as a spoken word and performance artist won't be surprised by the engaging and humorous way Chin walks you through the toughest parts of her childhood in Jamaica. Those of you who are familiar with the Caribbean will understand why Chin writes with so much love for her homeland and the people who brought her up in it. But for those who aren't familiar with either, the Calabash International Literary Festival is a good place to start.
Even if you can't make the trip to Jamaica, take a look at the author page on the beautifully designed festival website. It gives you the bios of the over thirty authors who will be there—including 2008 Pulitzer Prize winner Junot Diaz; novelist Edwidge Danticat, whose recent memoir Brother, I'm Dying tells of her uncle's death while in the custody of US immigration officials; and the newly published poet Millicent Graham. The Caribbean has given the world innumerable literary talents; just last week Jamaica Kincaid--author of the novels Lucy and Annie John and visiting lecturer in African and American Studies at Harvard University--was chosen to be one of 231 members to join the prestigious American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Calabash hopes to provide a space that fosters the region's literary history and the work of modern day writers.
The festival will be held May 22nd–24th at Jake's, a boutique resort with a commitment to social responsibility. For folks who have a tax refund you're itching to spend, perhaps now is the time to go to the islands. The festival itself won't cost you a penny; the Calabash events—readings, workshops, music—are free and open to the public (though voluntary contributions are accepted).
Love what you're reading here? Then you'll love Bitch magazine. The reviews are snappy, the analysis in-depth, the writers are downright sharp, and the illustrations so often belong in a frame that you'll have to move over other artwork.
If you don't have a subscription to our award-winning 80-page quarterly magazine, it's definitely time to start one.

Lehigh teens will be tried as adults
By Barry Miller. CREATED May 2, 2012
FORT MYERS---Two Lehigh Acres teens accused of a double murder will be tried as adults.
A Grand Jury is indicting 16 year old Justin Wirth and 17 year old Clayton Combs.
The two are facing First Degree murder charges for the deaths of Amy Lorah and her son Dalton Haley.
They were found shot to death in their Lehigh Acres home last month.
Combs and Wirth will now be transferred from a juvenile facility to the Lee County Jail where they will
be held with no bond. Because of their ages the teens will not face the death penalty.

Kelly, is that you?
Kelly Clarkson hit the streets of New York City on Tuesday, looking nothing like the doll-faced 20-year-old singer who sky-rocked to international superstardom by winning the first American Idol – and RadarOnline.com has the photos to prove it.
PHOTOS: Kelly Clarkson Dares To Bare In New York
The 29-year-old was snapped outside of her swanky hotel, without a stitch of makeup splashed on her noticeably fuller face. Wearing frumpy and unflattering fashion, the Grammy Award winning artist clearly wasn't bashful about being naked-faced – she was beaming from ear-to-ear!

Patterning of graphite or graphene by SPL has typically been performed in air because water molecules form a meniscus between tip and sample, which mediates the etching reaction. This water meniscus, however, may prohibit uniform patterning due to its strong surface tension or large contact angle on sample surfaces.
Controlled gas environment
To combat this side effect, the team patterns its samples in a chamber where the gas environment can be controlled. The researchers found that methyl alcohol (MA) facilitates graphite etching and gives a line width as narrow as 3 nm. Due to its low surface tension and highly adsorptive behavior, MA provides advantages for narrow line width and high speed etching operation.
The bias voltage and tunneling current were in the same range as water-assisted etching, but the line width of the etched features were much narrower in a MA environment. The line drawing speed was about 100 nm/s, which is 20 times faster than other STM-based etching. This improvement in patterning speed is attributed to the lower viscosity of MA and the reduction in enthalpy change compared with the reactions occurring with water.
By applying a top layer transfer technique to the graphite sample, controlled gas environment SPL could be used to generate graphene-based nano devices.
More details are given in the journal Nanotechnology.

MUSIC AND LYRICS Pop Goes The Love Song: When Hugh's Got Barrymore, Who Needs Bacharach? PopcornReel.com Movie Review: "Music And Lyrics" By Omar P.L. Moore/February 14, 2007 Lennon and McCartney, Fisher and Fletcher: Drew Barrymore as Sophie Fisher and Hugh Grant as Alex Fletcher in "Music And Lyrics", which opened today in the U.S. (All photos: Gene Page/Warner Brothers)
A perfect love letter to 1980's pop music, the film "Music And Lyrics" is far better than it promises to be, and not nearly as routine a film as it should be. Any time Hugh Grant is in a film one may be tempted to think, "oh, he'll play the same befuddled character that he's done since 'Four Weddings And A Funeral.'" And he does again -- but there's something different about his latest incarnation, Alex Fletcher that makes Mr. Grant an appealing and charismatic middle-aged star -- a star as realized via his Fletcher character -- who's self-aware of his own transition towards the tender age of 50. Fletcher is a has-been from the 1980's group Pop! (read: Wham!) He is the Andrew Ridgeley to the George Michael of Pop! (one Colin Thompson, who is played by Scott Porter.) While Colin has disappeared to parts unknown to become a sensation elsewhere, Alex spends his most recent days floundering between an appearance on a show called "Battle Of The '80's Has-Beens" (or something to that effect) and doing small gigs as a solo artist, surrounded by the now-older fans of Pop! who have grown-up with him. Unemployed and without a real occupation to enliven him, he is essentially a mess, and New York City -- a city of eight million varied souls -- provides refuge, although his apparent obscurity is punctured by the occasional "I remember you". Alex has never really been the master songwriter like a Stevie Wonder, a Burt Bacharach, a Smokey Robinson, a Paul McCartney, a John Lennon, or a Barbra Streisand, or a Carole King, but after an encounter with Greg (Jason Antoon) whose lyrics have an edge to them that's, well, not exactly romantic, he is pressed into service to pull things out of thin air. Enter Drew Barrymore as Sophie Fisher, a woman initially replacing the usual plant watering lady that comes to Alex's apartment. In one overheard moment she provides the missing lyric that the two men cannot produce, and the rest is history, especially when megastar flavor of the day Cora (played by Haley Bennett), a direct take-off of Britney Spears that looks instantly outdated given Ms. Spears' recent exploits -- needs a song written in 48 hours. This is Alex's big chance. Those hazy, crazy glory days of Alex: Hugh Grant as Alex Fletcher reviving his Pop! act on a solo gig, working the ladies into a frenzy. That's about all you need to know about this film, which besides from being somewhat predictable, is not predictable in the ways one might expect it to be. (Which likely makes it unpredictably predictable.) Be that as it may, the chemistry between Hugh and Drew is just right. Barrymore may be at the pinnacle right now -- she will soon be seen along side Eric Bana in "Lucky You", and her talents just keep excelling. She fits in so well in this and other films that she could well be cast by default and no one would have issue with it, for she is great here, and very heartwarming. Grant gives his character a flicker of vulnerability, and dispenses some advice that Alex himself probably ignored in his Pop! days. There is good supporting work from Brad Garrett (of U.S. television's now-defunct hit comedy series "Everybody Loves Raymond") as Alex's agent, and scene-stealing in abundance from Kristen Johnson, Sophie's exuberant and highly-flirtatious (around Alex, her first love of Pop!) older sister, who is married, but almost doesn't let fact that stop her from dreaming of Alex. She provides many of the film's laughs -- too much of her in "Music And Lyrics" is not quite enough. There is a cameo from Campbell Scott as successful writer Sloan Cates, who has had a history with Sophie that has not all been chocolates and roses, shall we say. Marc Lawrence, who wrote and directed this 96-minute number, infuses "Music and Lyrics", with lightness, laughter and joy. There are some bubble-gum moments and some more serious episodes, balancing an efficient pacing of story, gags and drama. Mr. Lawrence gives Alex Fletcher an arc of three of pop music's big stage personas from the past, present and past/present: at the start Alex is making moves like George Michael, then later gyrates his hips like Tom Jones, and finally winds up as piano man Elton John -- and all of these subtle and not-so-subtle touches, as with the rest of this better-than-average film, will be sweet music to your ears, Bacharach or no Bacharach.
"Music And Lyrics" opens across the U.S. today and is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for some sexual content. The film is released by Warner Brothers. The film's duration is one hour and 36 minutes. Scott Foster (left) as Colin Thompson, and Hugh Grant as Alex Fletcher as the 1980's duo Pop! (or Wham!) if you prefer, in Marc Lawrence's "Music And Lyrics".
